DESCRIPTION:

Aghora, described in this volume as "super tantra", is a Path of Devotion to the Great Mother Goddess Kundalini, here manifesting with the name and image of the Goddess Tara. This way is one of extraordinary extremes and intensities, even for tantra and its aim is nothing less than to destroy the human limitations of the actioner, so that he or she becomes a super human in fact, a kind of deity.

Editorial Reviews

Excellent book. Might be a disturbing read to some, but if you're already aware of Aghori practices this book gives you a great insight on the why & how of this way of life. Despite its lengthy details regarding tantrik practices in relation to spirits, the dead, and even sex, what one will take away the most from this book is the whole idea of how the Universe functions. The Aghori whom this book is about must have been a great soul indeed, and wise enough to have this book published after his death considering the questionable nature of spiritualists in today's society. --By SG on 13 March 2016

I had no idea about Aghora or Aghori, but i have seen some crazy naked sadhu''s in documentary of 'Kumbh Mela' a mass Hindu pilgrimage in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river Ganga. I was wondering why they are naked, what kind of rituals they do and there was no answers even after reading top or best selling spiritual books! But as i completed this book, everything was very clear to me. --By Ganesh on 22 June 2016

This book contains aghora wisdoms and left hand tantra. It's a great read. However it may seem disturbing to some because of uncommon and extreme aghora rituals. But Vimalananda has beautifully explained the relevance of each ritual with red flags of caution for curious aspirants at appropriate places. --By varun on 25 April 2014

About the Author

Robert E. Svoboda is the only American licensed to practice Ayurvedic medicine in India. A native of Texas, he is the author of eight books on Ayurveda and Indian mythology.

The first volume of Agni: The Vedic Ritual of the Fire Altar contains a discussion of the place of the Agnicayana in the Vedic srauta tradition, its textual loci, traditional and modern interpretations of its origins and significance and an overview of the Nambudiri Vedic tradition. The bulk of the volume, written in close collaboration with C.V. Somayajipad and M. Itti Ravi Nambudiri, is devoted to a detailed description of the 1975 twelve-day performance, richly illustrated with tipped-in photographs, mostly in colour and almost all by Adelaide de Menil. There are numerous text illustrations, tables and maps. The mantras are published in Devanagari and translation.

The second volume, edited with the assistance of Pamela MacFarland, contains contributions by an international galaxy of scholars on archeology, the pre-Vedic Indian background, geometry, ritual vessels, music, Mudras, Mimamsa, a survey of Srauta traditions in recent times, the influence of Vedic ritual in the Homa traditions of Indonesia, Tibet, China, Japan and related topics. There are translations of the relevant Srauta Sutras of Baudhyayana (together with Caland's text) and the Jaiminiya (with Bhavatrata's commentary) as well as the Kausitaki Brahmana; and a survey of the project with an inventory of the films and tape recordings made in 1975.

DESCRIPTION:

‘‘मेरी कहानियां नयी हैं या पुरानी, इस चर्चा में मेरी कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं है। हर साहित्य धीरे या जल्दी पुराना पड़ता है, कुछ पुराना पड़ कर फिर नया भी होता है, इस बारे में कुछ पहले भी कह चुका हूं। नयी-पुरानी की काल-सापेक्ष चर्चा में कहानी को उसके काल की अन्य कहानियों के संदर्भ में देखना चाहिए। उस समय वह कितनी नयी या पुरानी, पारंपरिक या प्रयोगशील थे...इससे आगे इतना-भर जोड़ना काफी है कि मैंने प्रयोग किये तो शिल्प के भी किये, भाषा के भी किये, रूपाकार के भी किये, वस्तुचयन के भी किये, काल की संरचना को लेकर भी किये लेकिन शब्द-मात्रा की व्यंजकता और सूचकता की एकान्त उपेक्षा कभी नहीं की।’’ - पुस्तक की भूमिका से 1978 में साहित्य के सर्वोच्च सम्मान ‘ज्ञानपीठ पुरस्कार’ से सम्मानित हीरानन्द सच्चिदानन्द वात्स्यायन ‘अज्ञेय’ (7 मार्च 1911 - 4 अप्रैल 1987) बहुमुखी प्रतिभा के लेखक थे। उन्होंने कहानी, उपन्यास, कविता और आलोचना, सभी विधाओं में लिखा। उनकी विशेषता यह थी कि उन्होंने अपने लेखन में कई नये प्रयोग किये और इसी के लिए उन्हें जाना जाता है। लेखक के अतिरिक्त लम्बे अरसे तक वे नवभारत टाइम्स के सम्पादक भी रहे। उन्होंने साहित्यिक पत्रिका सप्तक और दिनमान की शुरुआत की। इसके अतिरिक्त अमेरिका, जर्मनी और भारत के कई विश्वविद्यालयों में उन्होंने अध्यापन का कार्य भी किया। 19 वर्ष की उम्र में वे भारत के स्वतन्त्रता आन्दोलन में कूद पड़े और दिल्ली कांस्परेंसी केस में गिरफ्तार किये गये। उन्हें तीन साल दिल्ली और मुल्तान की जेल में कैद रखा गया। कारावास के दौरान लिखी 18 कहानियों सहित उनकी 67 कहानियाँ इस पुस्तक में सम्मिलित हैं।
